00:47:53 <eva> hi! is it normal for, after configuring a serial console in the installer, it to not actually give you a login prompt?
00:48:05 <eva> I see the copyright and hostname notice and then nothing
01:33:40 <eva> oh, and it's also not letting me log in with the user I configured
05:40:11 <eva> well, I found the password issue, it was this: https://github.com/omniosorg/omnios-build/issues/2507
15:11:26 <eva> re: that installer bug, by the way, it's here: https://github.com/omniosorg/kayak/blob/d82b59db8496f4baa7c6727e1e7f42fbd3c8e3a0/installer/config-menu#L902
15:12:45 <eva> that is why Kayak 's dialog UI is truncating input passwords to 20 characters
15:13:22 <eva> it _looks_ like everything is OK because the number 20 there sets the `flen` (visual field length), and the `ilen` (actual input length) is set to 0... but here's the unfortunate kicker (from dialog(1)):
15:14:00 <eva> > If ilen is zero, it is set to flen. 
15:16:48 <eva> so afaict "20 0" should become "20 255" on those two lines - maybe do the username field too while you're at it. I'll open a PR.
